Bethenny Frankel certainly wasn’t tardy to the Kim Zolciak and Koy Biermann hate-party following the news of their shocking divorce. The Real Housewives of New York City alum slammed the estranged couple for their excessive spending and urged them to pay their “fucking bills.”

Zolciak — an original cast member of The Real Housewives of Atlanta — filed for divorce from Biermann after 11 years of marriage. The announcement came on the heels of TMZ‘s report that the couple owes the IRS over $1 million in “unpaid taxes, interest, and penalties.”

According to Frankel, the former husband and wife have “always been people who seem like they’re spending more than they have,” per an expletive-filled TikTok video she posted on Monday night (May 8).

“He’s on a football salary, she’s on a Housewives salary, and they’re spending like the fucking plane’s going down,” she said. “And the thing is, you can’t spend more than you make.”

Frankel continued, “It’s the old Housewives model to get on the show, make no money — spend, spend, logo, logo, car, car, house, house, bankruptcy, foreclosure — because you can’t fucking keep up. You’re writing checks you can’t cash — and it’s gross.”

Referencing the reality TV stars’ expensive legal woes, the fellow Bravolebrity said, “Good — pay the IRS! You gotta fucking pay — you wanna play, you gotta fucking pay.”

Frankel also pointed out that it’s a “recipe for disaster” when couples invite the public into their lives when everything is “perfect.” While Zolciak spent five seasons on RHOA beginning in 2008, she and Biermann went on to document their family lives in their own spinoff Don’t Be Tardy, which aired for eight seasons until its cancellation in 2021.

“You invited us in when it was going good and it looked like a fairy tale — or made us believe it was — well, guess what? We’re coming out with you, too,” Frankel warned. “So no one’s gonna fucking respect your privacy at this time, because there is no privacy at this time.”

Back on the topic of paying bills, the Skinnygirl founder revealed that she didn’t spend a “goddamn dime” until she made money, noting that she was always “terrified” because you “don’t spend money you don’t fucking have.”

Frankel added, “Fucking hate all show and no go. I hate fronting and stunting. Pay your fucking bills, that’s all I have to say, pay your fucking bills.”
